Details

We're re-tooling our entire brand and need a new, hipper, website to reflect the changes we're making and our new identity. We've also requested Visual Brand & Logo Design and Brand Messaging projects to be completed by pro bono professionals.

Our new website must be an experience that allows for video, audio, pictures and text content. Since it will showcase crowd-sourced posts, it's important that the website is user friendly, interactive and inviting, similar to the Ford Social website.

We're looking for something that's flexible enough to grow with the organization, and easy to update as necessary. This is the kind of project for someone who will take design risks and has a lot of big ideas.

Description

Armed with a beautiful design that fits with your Visual Brand, scintillating copy and a road map for intuitive User Interface (UI) you are ready for the final phase before launching your glorious new WordPress website -- construction. Your pro bono professional designer brings it all together under one url and trains staff on how to update content.
